Everyone in the world takes at least 300 times longer than I do to use a cash machine. When I do it it's like: insert card, enter pin, no I do not need to check my balance, choose amount, take card/money, go. Other people stand in front of me and press one button every 5 minutes while I stand there thinking about sawing their head off with my debit card. I feel like folding them up, sliding them into the card slot and getting the pin number wrong 3 times. |

Fuck etiquette! Machete's are the answer!!! |

a more true word has n'er been spoken. the same principle can, of course, be applied to the grocery store lines.. both self-checkout and classic isles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
self check-out? what is this dark magic of which you speak? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True. Shop queues annoy me more though... people who get to the till and haven't got their wallet out, what's that about? Were they expecting the check out girl to say, "You're money's no good here sir- it's on the house"? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Hahah. There must be so many people that feel exactly this way, yet you never find them in front of you in the queue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HA ! |

Because being the epitomy of efficieny they've got their money and gone, long before you notice them. They need a count down timer on the screen like videogame high score tables in arcades. 30 second timer runs out and it spits out your card and says "Fuck off, come back tommorow." and doesn't take your card for 24 hours. |

the self-checkout line; it's a cold and lonely thing. you should pray to your god that you never meet this vile beast. |

Remember the cash-machine joke in Steve Marttins "LA Story"? Queue of ATMers is matched byt the queue of ATM hold-uppers w2ho simply say "i'll be your robber today" brilliant. |

haha excellent idea and it would work wonders too! |
||||||||
|
|

|

i would indeed pray to my god, but there's loads of people trying to pray to him at the moment, and the person at the front of the queue can't remember their Prayer PIN. |

They're gradually being introduced in the UK, so he probably will. |

I love this thread. I mean seriously its not hard to get cash and go. Why are they so slow? Do they think? Do they have a soul? Bastards! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about people who wait at least 1 or 2 secs at the light when it turns green just to be safe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
8 items in the 7 items and under queue is unforgiveable. these people should be shot dead. if you can't count to 7 you shouldnt be allowed to live. |
||||||||

That's the best idea I've heard in a long time. |

What a bunch of dicks... maybe not everyone at the card machine or check-out or traffic lights are always thinking "gotta pay attention - don't want the stupid twat behind me to get impatient". maybe they are engaged in a pleasant day-dream or an interesting thought or memory. And that is more important than being concerned with being ASQUICKASYOUPOSSIBLYEVERCANBE because some ignorant prick is impatient. |

"Everyone in the world takes at least 300 times longer than I do to use a cash machine." not everybody is wearing horseshoes but I've got the same problem and I also wondered if anyone else in the line behind me was thinking the same when it's my turn, now I know for sure I'm not paranoid, tnx |

||||||||

ceri, if you leave your card in for 60 seconds it will swallow it and not give it back. it then takes the bank 5 working days to send it back to you. i was pissed up (surprise) on one saturday evening, i can't rememeber waiting that long, but thats what they told me had happened. |

|
|
hahah. but seriously, if you need to make more than one transaction you should bloody well go to the back of the queue. its just bloody manners. |
||||||||
|

|
|

He was talking about debit cards, though, so that's OK. More grocery store fun: it's nice when people forget to weigh some of their vegetables and the cashier has to go and do it for them, halting the line for two minutes. I'm a pretty lazy/sloppy person, and in all the years (admittedly I'm only 20, but that still makes more than 10 years) that I've bought things it has happened to me once. You'd think normal people would remember to do this often enough, but NO! There's one about every second or third time I shop, which probably means at least 10 or 20 people forget it every day in that store alone. And there can't be more than, say, 5000 people (high estimate - this store is in a residential area, and people who come from outside town to shop would go elsewhere) who buy there regularly. Meaning that on average, they forget it at the very least once every 500 days. I call that frightening. Also, once the people in the line before me tried to pay for their stuff with a card. Entered the PIN, whoops! didn't work for some reason. Tried again, and again. Repeat for three more cards. Then they finally decided to pay with cash. I don't really get impatient, since if I'm in a hurry I generally don't have time for grocery shopping anyway, but I dread to think what would happen if I ever needed to get through very quickly. |

I've never had to weigh vegetables, isn't it automatic when they ring them up these days? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
NO ! if they do that in my store i always have to get my ass to the counter and weigh the goods for them most of the time its old people, old people before you in line are the WORST |

True. I have much more patience for old people, though, since they really can't help it. Imagine, you're 80 years old, getting bad at addition, your eyesight is failing, and you're completely unfamiliar with the currency because it's changed three times over the course of your life, the last two switches having occurred when you were already old. I can understand that they'd take an agonizingly long time to count out the money properly, or that they'd forget to do something or other. Most of the time, though, the people who cause annoying delays are completely normal human beings who certainly aren't old or young* enough to be excused. *) I remember the first time my parents sent me to the bakery to buy rolls for breakfast. They gave me a 10 DM bill. I misunderstood something and assumed I was supposed to buy as many as I could get for 10 DM. I ended up bringing home 53 of the damn things. IIRC I was quite proud then for having worked out the correct number. |
